FC2 install via FTP
by Sergio fernandez
Hi everyone
I am very new to all this. I have a dual boot machine with RH9 and
WinXP. I am trying to install Fedora core 2. I have downloaded the 4
ISO but I can not get them to work. I don't have a DVD drive but I
have a CD drive but when I burn them it fails to boot from the images.
So I have been looking around and found that you should be able to boot
the PC from USB pen drive. This boots into a SUSE boot screen and then
it fails so I am now try to get fedora core 2 installed via FTP. I
have the ISO sitting on an internal FTP server and need help to get the
install kicked off.

SMC2662W EZ Connect
by Nigel
Hi
I am having trouble installing the drivers for the USB2 SMC2662W EZ Connect
under FC2. I downloaded the one available for the version 4, which is what I
seem to have (I believe I have tested all of the ones available--versions
1,2,3, & 4).
Using the readme file, I used the outlined procedure under the root account
in both the root home folder and the "/" directory. When I tried executing
it with "./setup.sh" it basically told me that there was no driver that
matched the kernel (it used the kernel version in the script to eventually
find the version # among the modules). I tried to edit the setup.sh file so
that it would install the most recent driver to the directory where the
other usb wireless drivers were. It worked--sorta. Except for the fact that
the other drivers had a ".ko" and mine just a ".o" So I changed it after
making sure it didn't work. When I pulled up the networking utility and
looked under wireless, it didn't seem to display a new option, let alone a
new SMC (even after a reboot). It seems like I'm getting nowhere with this
method.
Also, I used lsusb to find that my device simply says "Belkin" and not
Wireless anything like I would expect.
Repeating what I have done while waiting for you to reply,
Apologies for the poor wording,
Nigel

Hi,
The message means there's some sort of firewall, IP filtering setup
somewhere along the way from your host to the destination for ICMP messages,
such as a IPTABLES rule to block ICMP traffic, nothing suspicious.
You can test this by setup IPTABLES port filtering on one host and do a
tcpdump from another host, try access the port at the same time, you will
see similar messages.

Thanks, Alberto

Xmms has worked fine for me in fc-1, but all of a sudden it stopped
working. If I bring it up it seems to use all available cpu cycles and
never actually makes it to the desktop. I tried uninstalling it with
yum, and reinstalling it, and the same behaviour is exhibited. Does
anyone know where I can look to fix this?

Permission to write Windows partition
by Mingzhai Sun
Dear all,
I mounted my windows partition as /mnt/d, and /mnt/e. But it seems only the
root user can write on these partitions. I want to give some
other users the permission to write, but I can not do that. Do you guys know
how to do that.
Thanks in advance.

Xorg -configure problems
by Art Werschulz
Hi.
We are in the process of moving from RedHat 9 to Fedora Core 2.
When doing "Xorg -confirm", we get the following stanza:
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 320 240 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DEL"
ModelName "DELL P793"
HorizSync 1129329536.0 - 0.0
HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0
VertRefresh 842024000.0 - 0.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
(Yes, we are using a DELL P793 monitor.)
Not too surprisingly, X windows complained about the HorizSync and
VertRefresh lines. I removed the first HorizSync line, and replaced
the VertRefresh line with
VertRefresh 50 - 160
(These values were from the old XF86Config-4 file.)
X windows now starts up fine, and works fine. However, when one logs
out from the X windows session, a box starts wandering around the
screen, said box containing a msg complaining that the refresh rate
was wrong. CTRL-ALT-F2 (etc.) did not switch me to a virtual console.
CTRL-ALT-DEL did not reboot the machine. The only "fix" was to do a
hard reboot.
So, does anybody have the proper values for the vertical refresh rate?
Should this be reported as a bug, and (if so), to whom?
Thanks.

I've been helping a german guy called Karl make some FC1 rpm's for his xvidcap/gvidcap program. It allows you to capture a predefined portion of the desktop and output it as one of a few various movie formats or as a timed sequence of images you can later convert with the imagemagick tools to an animated gif or mng file. You can find it at
http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/
Personally I found it great to capture movies of my simulations to use in presentations.
Cheers,
Daniel.

FC2: exporting DV over IEEE 1394?
by Tim Waugh
Has anyone had any success with exporting digital video to
firewire-connected camcorders or other video equipment in FC2?
I'm using kino, and it all worked fine in FC1. I've tried the FC2
rawhide kernel, and the latest FC2 update kernel, but the symptom is
the same: frames are not getting exported, but everything else appears
normal (camcorder begins record etc).
Tim.
